Glass Turns from Opaque to Clear in a Second
This is an interesting development for science that involves glass. You know the problem of how it is transparent, imagine if it just wasn't.

Paulson School of Engineering and Applied … [Read more...] about Glass Turns from Opaque to Clear in a Second

Basically, it is a button that you can push to order things that … [Read more...] about Amazon Dash is apparently a real product
Runcible, otherwise known as the “anti-smartphone”
What you are seeing here in this man's hand is the Runcible, and it is created by someone name Monohm who is wanting to create the "anti-smartphone". I guess the best way to describe it is somewhere in between a wearable and a smartphone. After all, smartwatches are wearables that give you a ton of notifications, and then you can actually do something about them on your … [Read more...] about Runcible, otherwise known as the “anti-smartphone”

Welcome to the age of the smartgun, thanks to a high school student
I think we all want to prevent the amount of gun accidents, and I found it amazing that Kai Kloepfer, a Boulder high school student, came up with a way to make it happen. Kai is the grand prize winner for SmartTech for Firearms Challenge, and his design uses an embedded fingerprint sensor on the gun itself. These fingerprints can only be used on the gun, so it can't be … [Read more...] about Welcome to the age of the smartgun, thanks to a high school student

Spheree, a 3D Interactive Spherical Scalable Display
I saw a picture of the Spheree on my Source, and I thought it was some kind of crystal ball, but with holograms. Seriously, wouldn't you pay good money for something that?

It is essentially a ball-shaped screen where you can work … [Read more...] about Spheree, a 3D Interactive Spherical Scalable Display
MindRDR gives the Google Glass some brain power
It's pretty clear that Google Glass is going to be the new smartphone, as soon as imitators bring the price down to at least below $1,000. I believe that the controls are done with voice or touch, but now the power of mind is getting into the equations. This is the MindRDR, and it uses a method of controls that I have seen before, like with the NeuroSky with their … [Read more...] about MindRDR gives the Google Glass some brain power
BAE Systems introduces The Transformer, a plane you wanted to see as a child
This is one of those products that I can't believe will ever be a reality. This plane is apparently under development from BAE Systems, a UK aerospace and defense contractor, and it looks like an 80's kid's toy. In fact, it is even called The Transformer. It certainly looks like it is from the 80's cartoon that eventually turned into four (count 'em four) Michael Bay … [Read more...] about BAE Systems introduces The Transformer, a plane you wanted to see as a child
